Profile in Courage

This week during class we saw a movie about athletes that unfortunately do not have the access of walking and some motor functions. They are athletes competing in the Paralympics where they face other handicap men from different countries. They play a game called "Murder Ball", replicating the sport of rugby but with special rules. In the beginning of the movie, it starts of by explaining how the game is played and the players it includes. It shows the greatest player, who was rejected a spot on the U.S. team, leave to Canada and coach the Canadian team. I think that the struggle it takes to find a new purpose in your life is harder if your old life is taken away in an instant. This movie, so far is about the players, their backgrounds and the game.
